Funny Cat Names for Felines Big and Small

Making the most of your cat's size—whether they are small or large—is a proven formula for coming up with a funny cat name. Big cats have a reputation for being frequent nappers, and names like Dough Boy or Meaty will make you giggle when you catch your kitty dozing off, again.

On the other hand, naming your small cat with an oversized name like Big Boy or Boomer is an ironic option. And Machu Picchu, while one of South America's largest archaeological sites, is a fitting (and funny) name for your small kitty.
